What would a world without the Sun be like?

When the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu-ōmikami, vanished under mysterious circumstances a thousand years ago, she left the land of Kuro blanketed in eternal night.

Over time, the people of Kuro have learned to harness what remains of Amaterasu’s power: the precious and finite resource known as the Goddess Essence. Kurokyuu Orbs, miracles of modern technology, harvest the Goddess Essence and provide light and power to all.

But there is a problem: the Goddess Essence is running out. And it couldn’t have come at a worse time.

Whispers abound of a growing evil in the North; stories of shadows that can only be harmed by the light of the sun.

From out of the darkness rises Taiyou-Shi, City of the Sun. Light Spires shine through all twenty-four of Taiyou-Shi’s hours, providing artificial sunlight for all. Everyone that is, but the residents of the Utter Darkness. In this forsaken place, Mina, a young orphan, is forced to beg and steal on the streets to sustain herself in the hardscrabble way of life.

In the darkest corners, Marauders lurk, hunting little girls, searching for the one known only as “The Maiden”.

When Mina falls captive to a roving band of Marauders, she is faced with a life-altering decision: reveal the secret she has been hiding her entire life or stay silent and risk losing her already meager existence?

When people die as a result of her inaction, Mina realizes her secret is no longer hers to keep.

A secret that lies in a most unusual ability:

The power to manifest sunlight.

Journey into a world rich with oriental mythology, where knowledge of the ancients blends with the technology of the future in a classic story of light and darkness, heroes and villains.

Mina and her companions continue the journey to find the missing Sun Goddess and restore light back to Kuro, a land of eternal night.

Forced to reveal her ability to manifest sunlight, Mina becomes the target of a government manhunt as she is pursued by the Silver Witch and the Four Demon Horsemen under her control.

Vannah reveals her dark secret and the true story of what turned her into the Dark Priestess as she recounts the events of the Great Yami War and the Fall of Talthys in an epic tale filled with love, hatred, treachery, and supreme sacrifice.

Drake and Ava get to the bottom of the mystery that Fala had unraveled as they discover an even darker secret.

Beyond the confines of Taiyou-Shi, city of the sun, two great empires are stirring.

As the desert Empire of Yin continues to be besieged by the Yami, the great Dragon Emperor faces a difficult decision as the supply of the Goddess Essence dwindles, and with it, all hope for Yin.

Upon Kuro’s farthest reaches, in the Island Nation of Mystika, Kulas, a young boy takes up his birthright and prepares for his new role as King, not knowing that his kingdom will soon be on a collision course with the Desert Empire of Yin.

Against the backdrop of political intrigue and warring nations, Mina and her companions face off against Felicia Silverstath, the legendary Silver Witch and her Demon Horsemen in a battle royale of epic proportions.
